Yeah, sometimes headlines speak for themselves… Election Judge Domenick DeMuro was paid between $300 and $5,000 to assist in ballot stuffing for each election over multiple years.

PHILADELPHIA – U.S. Attorney William M. McSwain released a video on May 21, 2020, in which he discussed the charging and guilty plea of former Philadelphia Judge of Elections Domenick J. DeMuro.

[Transcript] – Good morning. I am here to announce that the U.S. Attorney’s Office has unsealed criminal charges against Domenick J. DeMuro, a former Judge of Elections for the 39th Ward, 36th Division in South Philadelphia.

DeMuro has been charged with two counts: first, for conspiring to deprive Philadelphia voters of their civil rights by fraudulently stuffing the ballot boxes for specific Democratic candidates in the 2014, 2015, and 2016 primary elections; and second, for a violation of the Travel Act, which forbids the use of any facility in interstate commerce (here, a cell phone) with the intent to promote certain illegal activity (here, bribery). DeMuro has pled guilty to both of these charges.

This prosecution has been a team effort, and before I get into a more detailed description of what happened in this case, there are several people that I want to recognize and thank. First, from the FBI, Mike Driscoll, who is the Special Agent in Charge of the FBI’s Philadelphia Field Office, as well as Special Agent Carmen DiMario, who is the lead investigator on the case. I want to thank the Public Integrity Section at the U.S. Department of Justice in Washington, and specifically Section Chief Corey Amundson, Deputy Chief John Keller, and the Director of the Election Crimes Branch of the Section, Richard Pilger. I also want to thank Assistant U.S. Attorney Richard Barrett, who is the Chief of our Public Corruption Unit at the U.S. Attorney’s Office, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Eric Gibson, who is the lead prosecutor on the case. And finally, I would like to thank the Pennsylvania State Police for their assistance in this investigation.

The position that DeMuro held, the Judge of Elections, is an elective office and a paid position. The Judge of Elections is responsible for overseeing the entire election process and voter activities of his or her Division. Each Judge of Elections is charged with overseeing the Division’s polling place in accordance with federal and state election laws, and is required to attend Election Board Training conducted by the Philadelphia City Commissioners.

The voting machines at each polling station, including the 39th Ward, 36th Division, generate records in the form of a printed receipt documenting the use of each voting machine. The printed receipt, also known as the “results receipt,” shows the vote totals, among other information. The Judge of Elections and the Election Board Officials at each polling place attest to the accuracy of machine results by affixing their signatures to the last page of the results receipt.

Our election system relies on the honesty and the integrity of its Election Officials. If they are corrupt, the system is corrupt, which creates opportunities for election fraud and for the counting of fake votes.

Domenick DeMuro did not uphold his duties as an Election Official. A political consultant gave DeMuro directions and paid him money to illegally add votes for certain Democratic candidates on the primary ballots in 2014, 2015, and 2016. These candidates were individuals running for judicial office whose campaigns had hired the consultant, as well as other candidates for various federal, state, and local elective offices who were preferred by this consultant for a variety of reasons.

The political consultant would allegedly solicit monetary payments from his clients in the form of cash or checks as “consulting fees.” The consultant would then take portions of these funds and make payments to Election Board Officials, including DeMuro, in return for DeMuro and other Election Board officials tampering with the election results.

After receiving payments ranging from between $300 to $5,000 per election from the consultant, DeMuro would add fraudulent votes on the voting machine – also known as “ringing up” votes – for the consultant’s clients and preferred candidates, thereby diluting and distorting the ballots cast by actual voters. DeMuro would add these fraudulent votes to the totals during Election Day, and then would later falsely certify that the voting machine results were accurate. He would add the fraudulent votes by literally standing in the voting booth and voting over and over, as fast as he could, when he thought the coast was clear.

In May 2014, DeMuro stuffed the ballot box with 27 fraudulent ballots during the primary election. In May 2015, DeMuro padded the ballot box with 40 fraudulent votes; in 2016, it was 46 fraudulent votes. These numbers may sound relatively small, but they made up a significant percentage of the total votes cast at the polling place. In 2014, 118 total ballots were reported in the 36th Division of the 39th Ward. That means that DeMuro’s fraudulent votes accounted for over 22% of the total voting in that Division in 2014. In 2015, his fraud accounted for over 15% of the votes in the Division; in 2016, his fraud accounted for over 17% of the votes.

But at the end of the day, the specific numbers don’t really matter. Voting is the cornerstone of our democracy. If only one vote has been illegally rung up or fraudulently stuffed into a ballot box, the integrity of that election is undermined. Again, the integrity of our elections depends on the honesty of our Election Officials – so we take any dishonesty by those officials very seriously. And I want to make it clear that this is an ongoing and active investigation.

I also want the public to know that my Office is taking every possible step that we can to ensure the integrity of every primary and general election in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania in 2020. For example, earlier this year, I announced that our Office has launched a review of all polling places in the Eastern District to determine if they are in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. As this year marks the 30th anniversary of the ADA, there can be no doubt that counties have had more than enough time to ensure that their polling places provide full access to individuals with disabilities. We will work day and night to make sure that every citizen’s civil rights are protected, whether that is through access to the polls or making every legitimate vote count.

If you tamper with anyone’s right to vote or try to fix the results of any election in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, my Office will hold you accountable. If you are an Election Official or work with the polling places in any way, I urge you to do your job honestly and faithfully at every turn. That is what the public deserves, it is what democracy demands, and it is what my Office will enforce. (link)

How about ‘ease our troubled minds’? “Man, these guys are on top of this voter fraud stuff” riiiiiiight!
Remember, the presidential election is just one aspect of taking this country, we are seeing the effects with the lockdown of democrats who control states. Democrats who obstruct in congress.
And the sad truth is, we teeter on the edge of our own tyranny with only one viable party. No MSM, no democrats (who are actual democrats) we need a balance. The democrats, believe it or not, used to value the constitution.

The Democrat Party needs to be eradicated, destroyed utterly and completely. No “balancing,” no “compromise,” as there’s nothing to balance or compromise anymore – they’re off the rails.

The stunts that they’ve pulled just since 2015, culminating with these extended shutdowns in blue states, which are designed not to “flatten the curve,” but to flatten the economy in their manic and demented effort to hurt the Bad Orange Man and GOP in November, are the final straw. They’re sick, warped, dangerous psychopaths.

Not that I give a fiddlin’ fk about this Demuro, but am unable to find him as a recipient by the Muzloid who supposedly according to the errornet to have awarded a total of 123 Pres. Freedom Awards. Among the 123 total is a mix of known Muts and worthy recipients. Noteworthy award by the Muzloid is one Joe Biden… “With Distinction” no less. During me search I did find a a couple of Goolag “facts” in addition to the notoriously inaccurate “Wiki’s” notable for their marxist stewpidity though this one seems accurate and notable for a certain number of Muts awarded therein:

1. John “Heinz” Kerry (yes the Muzloid’s Sec. State) received the… wait for it now…. The Medal of Honor, but I had so many tabs open that I’m unable to hit the reference to convey here even using the MS library indicating it I may have found it off a redirect. I do retain an image in me mind that the “source” was “Yahoo”, so no surprise.

2. During Goolag searches there is often the “People Also Ask” finding this one: “What did Trump do for the economy?” to which their response was: A key part of President Trump’s economic strategy during his first three years (2017–2019) was to boost economic growth via tax cuts and additional spending, both of which significantly increased federal budget deficits.” But of couse zero ref. to the number of unprecedented natural disasters PDT dealt with (most effectively at that), the Muzloid’s hollowing of the U.S. Military he’s still rebuilding costing to date over $2.5(T) and still not close to sustaining allocation$ let alone ongoing R&D…. though no doubt PDT will receive the complete blame for an what he was left with when he leaves office. https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=obama+freedom+award+recipients under “People Also Ask”.

When America was colonies and early in our Republic, town halls were held in which people stood up and voted for candidates and measures. Later, the secret blot was established, to prevent voter intimidation. It sounded good. Alas, the secret ballot contained the seeds of election fraud: if no one knew who voted for which candidates or measures, it was feasible to stuff ballot boxes with forged ballots.

If we returned to open-identity voting, this would end fake voting. You hold elections. Every voting citizen writes his name and signs his paper ballot. Election officials tabulate votes, and they post in the courthouse and online lists of voters and whom/what they voted for. Every voter can check his or her own personal result at the courthouse or online. Then he or she can contact the local party office if he or she finds that his or her votes were altered.

We strengthen laws on voter intimidation. Anyone caught intimidating a voter gets 5 years in prison for every person he intimidates. Ultimately then, mass intimidation sends intimidators to prison for life.

This would also facilitate parties’ auditing elections. In most states you register to vote and identify your party, so that you can vote in primaries. It would then be easy for parties to correlate precisely individual party registrations and people’s ballot choices. Then when mismatches are discovered, individual voters can be contacted, and queried: “Mr. Smith are you a Republican? Did you vote for Democrats for Governor, State legislators, and U.S. House and Senate candidates? We support your right to do so, but we are just checking to make sure your votes are authentic.”

I was wondering the same. Did the candidate win? We’re they held accountable? Was the payer held accountable? So many questions left unanswered. Election should be voided and people go to jail for a long time. What about the woman in Florida where they were pulling ballots out of trunks, days after the election. What about California’s vote harvesting and signing up illegals at the dmv. Just like in Oregon, I’ve had a few customers tell me their party was changed to “independent” by the dmv. I was telling everybody, but nobody seemed to think it was a big deal and didn’t see the opportunity for fraud. Sigh

This example of election fraud boils down to “elitists” deciding that they know better than citizens, the “best” people to be selected to govern us.

If we consider the secrecy laws governing “national security”, it is established that everyone cannot know our nation’s secrets, only some can. Those people in essence “know more” about what is going on than the citizens. Therefore, ignorant citizens have no intellectual capacity to decide whom their rulers and what their laws shall be. Hence, election fraud isn’t wrong, it is wise policy.

To wit, overturning the will of the people is not corrupt, it is noble. It is for the nation’s good.

So, you see, feudalism was good. This is why it is being restored. Indeed with educational measures like Common Core Math, within 20 years America won’t have any engineers who can design any technology. We won’t have cars. I don’t mean fossil-fuel burners. We won’t have electric cars. Nor buses, trains nor airplanes. We can go back to the nobility riding horse-drawn carriages, the semi-nobility riding horseback, and the peasants walking and operating animal-drawn wagons to Saturday market. No commoner will ever travel more than 20 miles from his birthplace. With far lower agricultural productivity, a sustainable world population of 500 million will be inevitable. What a beautiful world it will be.

Well, he pleaded guilty to criminal offences, so he is actually a real criminal.
He was caught and will be sentenced, so justice has been served.
And election fraud is a massive problem, so it is well worth mentioning if it frightens off potential Dem fraudsters in November.
My pleasure. Don’t mention it.

Replicate his fraud across every polling place for every election and you are talking probably dozens of House and Senate seats.
Scores, probably.
Whatever the maximum sentence is I hope he gets it. For each count. Served consecutively.

Jase-EXACTLY. No wonder we lost the 2018 elections. Between this and Google’s influence Repubs didn’t have a chance.
We only have a few more months til November and it’s going fast.
Why can’t the dopey GOP ever get its act together? Why are they always playing catch-up?

Speak for yourself, Ack. In this case, I would not only use that word, I would add, “scumsucking” and “criminal” in front of it. I hate this type of crime so badly I’d like to be a member of the firing squad that executed him. Yes, that’s right. Vote fraud should be punished by firing squad, donation of any remaining viable organs or tissues, and burial in an unmarked grave.

The investigation was stated to be ongoing. You can be pretty sure that the political consultant will be arrested. What I want to know is if the fraudulent votes actually tipped the scale and put some dead brained democrats into office. I wonder if that were the case if they could be removed?

Just like when snopes opinion was the only thing a supposed researcher could find when he didn’t favor the Democrats getting caught as the cheats they are. Whistle a happy tune and pretend the evidence is just a lot of noise. There’s a bridge in Brooklyn I can sell you CHEAP! ☺

Hey, PA — Just copy CA’s ballot harvesting law, and you can do away with those pesky consultancy fees and FBI perp walks. Get with it, guys. Oh, and universal mail in ballots on the honor system, don’t forget that.

America needs voter ID.
Think of all the things in life that require ID.
And one of the most important actions in our Republic
is NOT protected by requiring voters to identify themselves.
IMO, our election process is rife with fraud, and I believe
it is getting worse as the democrat party is unmasked as the marxist democrat party.
America needs voter ID.

Regarding North Carolina. In 2016, no Voter ID. In November 2018, it was put on the state-wide ballot, and *approved* by NC voters.

NC’s democrat governor, being allergic to Voter ID, vetoed it. So in December 2018, the NC House overrode the guv’s veto (72-40), and the NC Senate overrode the guv’s veto (33-12), thus making it law. For a few weeks.

On February 22, 2019, Judge Bryan Collins ruled in favor of a lawsuit, “the NAACP and Clean Air Carolina”, striking down the Voter ID Amendment. An appeal court -temporarily- halted the halt, but – more appeals have frozen the Amendment.

NC Voter ID implementation -was- to begin in 2020; it has been delayed based on a federal court injunction. At this point, the law is NOT in effect.

The Democrats think they can swing North Carolina into a perma blue state much like neighbor Virginia with a little voter fraud on top. Of course the crooked court system blocked Voter ID for the 2020 election.

There is probably one in each Division, since the Divisions seem rather small, at least this one.

In May 2014, DeMuro stuffed the ballot box with 27 fraudulent ballots during the primary election. In May 2015, DeMuro padded the ballot box with 40 fraudulent votes; in 2016, it was 46 fraudulent votes. These numbers may sound relatively small, but they made up a significant percentage of the total votes cast at the polling place. In 2014, 118 total ballots were reported in the 36th Division of the 39th Ward. That means that DeMuro’s fraudulent votes accounted for over 22% of the total voting in that Division in 2014. In 2015, his fraud accounted for over 15% of the votes in the Division; in 2016, his fraud accounted for over 17% of the votes.

Are we going to see indictments against the consultant and the candidates who paid the $300 to $5,000 bribes to the election official or are we just going to forget about that part because the criminals are Democrats???

That is, well, a difficult proposition. The $300 to a Judge of Elections is small money.
It’s the roughly $100,000 that Judicial candidates have to pay to “political consultants” and the Philly Democratic party that is the real problem.

First, the Then the
“Philadelphia judicial candidates scramble for attention, pay for -consultants-” Philadelphia Inquirer, March 28, 2011,
“Sabatina, who also is helping three other would-be judges this year. For his work, they pay him $20,000 to $35,000 apiece.”
…
“In exchange for the [Democratic Party}support, each of the 10 candidates is expected to pay the [Philly Democratic] party a $35,000 “assessment fee.”

Think that first time I voted was when I lived in the rurals of Virginia. Am pretty darn sure I filled out a paper ballot. I voted for Jimmy Carter.
As time went on and I am who I am today, am damn sure that electronic and mail in voting are low hanging fruit for FRAUD, WASTE. AND ABUSE and this article proves it.
In PA our election poll officials are NOT PAID, BUT ARE VOLUNTEERS. Working a 12 or more hours on election day, and ALL at my polling station are SENIORS.who I think should be paid a thousand dollars for the time and energy and incredible stamina.for taking the vote count .Pretty damn sure they would get a Q clearance in a heartbeat.
Am darn glad that this “election dufous” was exposed. Hope he gets the “Flynn enema.”.
For what it’s worth I can’t wait to vote in person. Dare I do it without a mask on?
If I do wear a mask, it will be the mask of Zorro.

I’m a judge of elections in Chester Co and we do get paid. Not a lot, but some. I don’t know about other counties.
Stuffing ballot boxes? We don’t have ballot boxes either. We have paper ballots with ovals to fill in the candidate you are voting for. The voted ballot is put into a scanning machine which counts the votes. There is little chance of fraud. I run a very tight ship and I hand out the ballots myself. Nobody gets one unless they are supposed to. My concern this year is that we have mail in ballots as a choice for the first time. They all go to voter services and are processed by the staff there. I think that is open to fraud.

did this criminal activity actually change the outcome of any election?

if yes, how does one restore a stolen election?

NEXT BIG QUESTION:

if TEAM DEEP SQUAT can pull off the coup of the century, manipulate the courts, fabricate evidence of a foreign threat, double downb and attempt an impeachment, LIE OPENLY BEFORE CONGRESS, conspire WITH THE PRESS to perpetuate the biggest fraud hoax of all time in US history….with the SINGLE PURPOSE TO STEAL AN ELECTION.

what kind of punishment shall be reconciled by main justice…?

will it take MANY YEARS of such fraud, as in this case, to finally reach justice, if at all?….delayed sufficiently that either the limits of statute for prosecution terminate, or that there is no chance to change election outcomes?

when will states break free of “main justice” and begin investigating the fraud of the left at the national level?

is there no interest?

what does that say about citizens representation?

isn’t that chiefly the motivation for the revolutionary war? taxation without representation…..the new twist….representation by fraud and taxation with virtually no limit (5 TRILLION DOLLARS and counting on what again?…with zero representation from main justice to correct and punish those that would conspire to steal an election?

We are always told by the propagandist media fraud is rare, yet almost every case we hear of they are Democrats. Catching these frauds is difficult. Fraud is a much bigger problem than is alleged.

I wonder how many others in this area committed fraud on the votes. Even when caught, we never hear of these fraud cases causing an election result to be overturned. This case seems like the work was done in a stupid manner, but how many of the votes in this same place were legitimate votes that were allowed to pass through as real?

When we’ve had counties and towns with over 100% turn out, or results in the high 90% those results are not thrown out, and the vote tally stands, even though it is statistically impossible. My daughter had her vote stolen twice, which is far too easy to do in my area. No ID required. Not even a glimpse at the signature – which in both cases were not remotely the same as the register book. I guarantee you that the fraudulent vote stood counted, and my daughter’s vote which had to be cast as provisional, went uncounted. And that is the small potatoes type of fraud done by individuals who go from poll place to poll place with easy to obtain names.

Yet Stacey Abrams is all worked up over the votes of illegals, which is illegal voting fraud, are being infringed because they aren’t being properly represented. The left have no shame. Cheating is perfectly valid to them so long as they win.

A) THIS IS NOT ABOUT “Philly DEMOCRATS stealing votes from Republicans”
B) THIS IS ABOUT “Philly DEMOCRATS” selling an elected office to the highest bidder.

SHORT
The BIG STORY here is that it’s “a little fish”.
The REAL STORY is that Philadelphia is a de-facto one-party town, so if you want to be elected to be a County Court Judge (City Hall IS the County Courthouse for Philadelphia) you de-facto have to make a big donation to the Philly Democratic Committee OR you have to pay “Political Consultants” to go ward by ward and lobby for you.

DETAILED
Ok, I live outside Philly, I know the election system- here’s what you have to know
First “Judge of Elections” isn’t a judge in any normal use of the term. There are ~800 individual polling places in the City of Philadelphia and EACH ONE OF THEM has a “Judge of Elections.”
Basically, imagine it’s 6:30 am and a group of retirees are sitting around a card table, playing paper-scissors-rock to determine who is going to be “Judge of Elections”, who is “Majority Inspector”, who is “Minority Inspector”, who is “Machine Operator”. The official duties of the “Judge of Elections” are to arrive around 6 am, open the door, plug in the voting machine, and setup a card table for signing in voters. The REAL duties are to A) scrounge up four or more volunteers who can take a day off without pay so that people in their neighborhood can vote, and B) bring coffee and donuts for the people who volunteer to help run the election at the location.

Second, the “36th division of the 39th Ward” is only five square blocks of homes across from the Phillies stadium. The 36th division is 3 blocks square (12th to Broad, Oregon to Schuylkill expressway) but two square blocks are taken up by Marconi park, and two more square blocks are taken up by a jug-handle exit for the Schuylkill Expressway. So, this is NOT some large and powerful “Judge” we’re talking about.

What SHOULD be the story is that, if you want to become an elected Judge in the City of Philadelphia, THIS IS THE SYSTEM. If you don’t hire and pay “Political Consultants” you won’t get elected, UNLESS you have great name recognition e.g. Judge Seamus McCaffrey (“Eagles court to Pa. Supreme Court and the out) and Judge Willie Singletary (Traffic Court and then out)

This is typical behavior for the Dems/Socialists. They’ve been cheating at the ballot box ever since voting was invented. Most of the time it is the only way they can win as their policies are detrimental to society as a whole, in a free country anyway.

HERE IS WHAT THE STORY MISSED –
It’s not the position of “Judge of Elections” (1 of ~800 ) that is important here.
It is the position as “Chairman of Ward 39a (1 of ~80) that is important.
Ward 39a (Southeastern part of South Philadelphia) ALSO just happens to be where State Senator Vince Fumo started his political career.
BACKGROUND
Philly still has a “political boss” system. The City is divided into ~80 wards, each with a Democratic Ward Leader. Each ward is further divided into 20-80 districts that are a few blocks square; each Ward has a Democratic Committee Person.
Prior to the primary elections, the 80 Democratic Ward leaders determine which candidates the Philly Democratic party backs. Judicial candidates will generally have to hire one or two “Political Consultants” and pay each of them $25,000 to $35,000 to go “lobby” the 80 Ward leaders so that the Judicial candidate gets the backing of the Philadelphia Democratic Committee. .
Once you have the backing of the Phila. Democratic Committee, the judicial candidates pay ANOTHER $35,000 to the Phila. Democratic Committee.

Seems to me that it is MUCH more likely that the “Political Consultant” paid the $500 to $3,000 for the services as the 39th-A Ward Leader, rather than adding 30-40 votes at one of ~800 polling places.
FYI

The Democrat Party needs to be eradicated, destroyed utterly and completely. No “balancing,” no “compromise,” as there’s nothing to balance or compromise anymore – they’re off the rails.

The stunts that they’ve pulled just since 2015, culminating with these extended shutdowns in blue states, which are designed not to “flatten the curve,” but to flatten the economy in their manic and demented effort to hurt the Bad Orange Man and GOP in November, are the final straw. They’re sick, warped, dangerous psychopaths.

That is interesting … the Democrats have to cheat in a Dem stronghold in order to offset the rural areas of Pennsylvania. Remember how it worked against them in 2016, when the laws they passed to prevent investigating irregularities also prevented them from recounting? Poetic justice.

-the Democrats have to cheat in a Dem stronghold in order to offset the rural areas of Pennsylvania-
Eh, perhaps, but that’s NOT the point of THIS story. This is “weirder.”
The 2015 race had a little over 48 candidates seeking for 15 slots as judge.
This was adding 40 votes, at one polling place (of ~800) where the winning candidates need to pull 25,000 to 45,000 votes. You have to be “a special kind of stupid” to think that “ringing up” 40-60 votes at one polling place is REALLY going to make a difference.

I lived in IL in 2012….I didn’t get to vote at all…. in the primary.
So…. I moved. They gave me a Demoncrap ballot which I
didn’t want. I requested a Repub ballot…. they refused. I called
all the right people to complain…..including the State department.
They were sympathetic, said they could not do what they did……
and out of 4 calls to officials…….nobody did a single thing about it.

Demoncraps will cheat right in your face.
I moved to a state who let me vote MY Choice.

Mail in voting would be a disaster of the nation. The
volume of handlers would be so easily switchable
and dishonest. No better than voting by computer….
and we all know how “honest” that would be.
….🤮
